08 Red Tree Pinot Noir


Wow, Wow, Wow....An inexpensive California Pinot Noir that is good and does not break the bank. I spoke to two different sources prior to purchasing to make sure that I was not being sold a bill of goods...I had two of my trusted "wino" friends to taste this..and they gave it a strong buy. It is not an "Earthy " Pinot so if that is what you are looking for...look elsewhere. It taste like a slice of cherry/rhubarb pie with a topping of stewed blackberries. It is intense in flavor...but beware...if you open it...drink now...after-open-aging does not work for this morsel. Buy by the case and enjoy while cooking outdoors on the grill. great wine to serve for a large gathering.
I rate this wine 6.5 Bigbecks out of 10.
I rate this wine 9.5 Bigbecks for its quality/value ratio...under $8.00 per bottle case price.
